A) \[\frac{110}{221}\]
B) \[\frac{2}{223}\]
C) \[\frac{110}{223}\]
D) \[\frac{1}{221}\]
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
[a] Let A denote the event that the person has TB Let B denote the event that the person has not TB. Let E denote the event that the person is diagnosed to have TB. \[\therefore P(A)=\frac{1}{1000},P(B)=\frac{999}{1000}\] \[P\left( \frac{E}{A} \right)=0.99,P\left( \frac{E}{B} \right)=0.001\] The required probability is given by \[P\left( \frac{A}{E} \right)=\frac{P(A)\times \left( \frac{E}{A} \right)}{P(A)\times P\left( \frac{E}{A} \right)+P(B)\times P\left( \frac{E}{B} \right)}\] \[=\frac{\frac{1}{1000}\times 0.99}{\frac{1}{100}\times 0.99+\frac{999}{1000}\times 0.01}=\frac{110}{221}\]You need to login to perform this action.
